Re: [xsl] IE error | Switch from current encoding to specified encoding not supported.

Hi Steve, William,

This is one way to do it. The source of the original problem was 
actually with the settings for the internal XML Writer, which defaults 
to UTF-16 (partially true, real UTF-16 is not supported by Microsoft, 
notably, MS does not support surrogate pairs) and if you "just" write 
the results of an XsltProcessor, it ends up being UTF-16.

By setting a custom writer with your properties, for the encoding you 
will effectively create the correct output stream in one go, without 
having to use Response.Write.Replace. I.e., in C# it looks a bit like this:

   // instantiate an XmlWriter
   XmlWriter xmlWriter = XmlWriter.Create("output.xml");
   xmlWriter.Settings.Encoding = "UTF-8";  
   XslCompiledTransform xslt = new XslCompiledTransform(true);

   // enable document function and scripting
   XsltSettings xsltSettings = new XsltSettings(true, true);

   // load stylesheet and transform to "output.xml" (but you can use 
any stream)
   xslt.Load("Xslt/test.xslt", xsltSettings, null);
   xmlWriter = XmlWriter.Create("output.xml");
   xslt.Transform("Xslt/test.xslt", xsltArgs, xmlWriter);
   xmlWriter.Close();


This is using the classes from ASP.NET 2.0 so you if you want to use 
this you may have to adjust it to your situation.

Cheers,
